Hello Dragan
Here is my Energy 5 (before I refinished the satin coating, must update the pic)
http://www.statii.com/status_db/Simple_List_view.php?editid=222
Very similar to your but with the Utile body
Serial number 0582079, which translates as May 1998
The pickups on mine are labelled 'Hyperactive' but are passive
Each one has a single coil in the neck half of the pickup with a dummy coil in the bridge half. So hum cancelling single coil.

You can use a paperclip or something light and magnetic to feel where the magnet(s) are
Controls are Blend/Volume/Treble boost or cut
The treble tone control is flat at the centre detent
My current favourite strings are bridge pu with the treble all the way off
or neck pu with the treble flat
Seems to depend on the room
Working through the Catalogues and More section gave me hours of fun tracking down exactly which bass I had and getting it back to original spec
Definitely my favourite ever bass and the one I always pick up first
